Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:47:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=117765#comment-998717It’s not every day you hear a scout talk about a player’s production…

…but man, was this guy high?

Gabbert only averaged 40 pass attempts per game, with over 6700 passing yards in his two starting seasons. Match that with 40 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.

Lets say if they do select a Qb, they sure will be going backwards of constantly drafting the same position over and over again until they get it right(like the old Lions when Millen was Gm). Patients is key to a Qb being fully develop without being thrown in the wolves when they aren’t ready.

As much I hear how these Qb’s aren’t listen as “can’t miss” prospect, I have to wonder why in the heck do they have them as top 5 picks? They aren’t day 1 starters in my eyes, who should sit and learn. But knowing how 8 of the top 10 teams needs Qb’s expect for some of them to reach of them.

What a shame for a young Qb to be thrown under the bus after their rookie yr without given a 2nd chance to improve. What do owners and fans expect, a pro bowl/ All Pro Qb as a rookie lol? just kidding there.

If Carolina gives up on Clausen after 1 year…they deserve EVERY bad thing that will happen to them over the next decade.

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:36:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=117765#comment-998655I’ve never understood all the hype for Gabbert while at the same time hearing all the negativity about Newton’s game.

Both played in a spread offense and both are mobile QBs.

That’s where the comparisons end.

Newton led an Auburn team that wasn’t on the map at the beginning of the year to a National Title and an SEC championship. He was the 2nd QB in college football history to throw for 20TDs and run for 10. He consistently carried his team on his back to lead come from behind victories over teams that arguably had better talent (most notable being defending champion Alabama).

Not only that, he did the same thing the year before when he led Blinn College to a NJCAA championship.

The man hasn’t lost a football game in over two years and has proven at every level he’s played at that he’s a winner.

Gabbert on the other hand struggled to maintain a 2:1 TD to INT ratio in a weak Big 12 conference. He has shown questionable arm strength and ability to hit his receivers consistently down field.

So why is there any question which of these two QBs are the better player?

You can blame it on Cam’s daddy, just like I can blame it on the fact that he doesn’t have long blonde hair and blue eyes.

But at least they haven’t tried to force Cam to play WR. Yet.

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:35:13 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=117765#comment-998651How many QBs can the Panthers get in 2 drafts? They grabbed 3 last year and are somehow considering a 4th as the #1 overall pick? Cam Newton is not worth the #1 overall pick. He is a me-first guy who is only interested in his own star-power. He can play against the college kids, but the NFL boys are bigger, stronger and faster. His advantage is no longer big and his accuracy flaws will be exploited by experienced CBs and safties. Good luck with that if Carolina picks him. Start the hold-out watch before he signs and then restart it the second he has a decent game.

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:33:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=117765#comment-998649Yes, don’t dare draft a guy with low percentage numbers throwing 30 yards downfield in actual football games.

Draft one who went 11-21 with no defense wearing shorts.

Of course, Gabbert does have all that off-field stuff- stealing laptops, cheating on papers and tests, extorting money from colleges- to consider.

Oh wait…….that was the 11-21 guy.

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:29:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=117765#comment-998642Eh, probably better for Gabbert anyway to be in an Aaron Rodgers situation – fall far enough that you can sit behind somebody for a while on a decent team, and learn, and take over when the time is right.
